1) Evaluation Factor 3 requires 8-10 samples of past CUP designs including a minimum of 3 new Heating. Is a hot water only (no steam) CUP design fully acceptable as a Heating sample?

Response: No, provide a minimum of 3 samples of past campus high-pressure steam heating plant designs. Also, provide at least one sample of past campus hot water heating plant design.

2) Evaluation Factor 3 requires that “construction of offered sample projects be completed within the past 5 years.” Is a new project, design fully completed and accepted, but construction not yet fully completed, deemed to be an acceptable sample project?

Response: For the required minimum number of past projects, include projects that have been constructed and fully commissioned. For additional projects beyond the required minimum, they could be at a fully completed design stage. The design for these additional past projects must have been accepted as Final by the client.
